A massive semi truck fire in Rockcastle County happened just before 5 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 150 and Highway 70 near Brodhead. The Brodhead Fire Department says one person was trapped inside the truck, but a good Samaritan tells Fox 56 he pulled the truck driver from the vehicle. The witness says the truck driver is OK. "They were yelling and screaming, trying to get something to pry the guy out because the trailer was on fire already," Sam Hamilton said. "I mean the diesel was just blazing." Firefighters say the truck had diesel fuel in it that sparked the massive flames, but it's unclear what caused the crash.
